The class of Ricardo Carvalho

After the final whistle, and moments after celebrating with the Monaco bench, Ricardo Carvalho went back onto the pitch to put a consoling arm round the shoulders of Mesut Özil.

The two players spent three seasons together at Real Madrid between 2010 and 2013. On Tuesday evening they didn't face each other on the pitch, with Ricardo Carvalho an unused substitute. On his knees on the turf at the final whistle, Mesut Özil saw his former teammate arrive to help him up in a lovely display of friendship and fair play. Bravo.
